Last fall I had decided to do a weekend trip to Huntsville, Alabama to visit my family. During my time there I was determined to do at least one hike that I hadn’t done before. After talking to my little brother Alex, we decided to hike at Wade Mountain. I had never been there before and I was hoping to hike to the top so I can see the sunset.

FUNNY STORY!

Once we arrived to Wade Mountain, we decided to meet up with my mom before heading up the trail. We

A coffee addicts worst nightmare is their yellow stained smile. I always hated to smile for pictures so I avoided pictures as much as I could. If by chance I did take photos I made sure to do so from far away. Anything so nobody would notice my not so pretty white smile.

After a hike up to Manoa Falls with my friends and all of our little ones, I quickly learned that I wasn’t prepared at all for this hike. The baby carrier I had was causing me unbarable back pain, we ran out of water, and potty breaks with my toddler and a baby on my back was interesting

This fun-filled Autumn trip was inspired by a trip I took back in May with my dad to South Cumberland State Park. My mom saw all of the pictures and all the fun we had that she wanted to do a mother daughter getaway too. Off we went to plan and due to a loss in the family, dog emergency, and a few other setbacks we finally were able to make our way to Shawnee National Forest in Illinois for the weekend.

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” By: John Muir. Usually when we go to the forest, the mountains, or anywhere outdoors we go to disconnect from the world and connect with ourselves or those we are exploring with. By disconnecting we are also making ourselves vulnerable to risks in a potential emergency situation. GoTenna has created a mesh networking device called GoTenna Mesh that allows you to explore and wander through the world worry free keeping you connected with those you are

Hi there! Can you believe that 2018 is almost over? It feels like we were just saying hello to 2018 and now we are about to start a new year. Well we all know that with a new year we have new goals, new mindsets, and more knowledge. You probably want to be more organized on your day to day or even week to week life or business. For me this means staying on top of my blog and my shop better then what I did the year before. Now

When I first started hiking I was only a little girl. I usually went hiking or camping with my dad so hygiene was very minimum. Just the main essentials at the most.

One of the main things I made sure to not leave without was my UVPaqlite. Being in the deeps of the forest can mean very dark nights and having light can be a lifesaver. I packed a few of my UV Paqlite products to make sure I stayed illuminated throughout the night making our camping life much easier.
